Moved

Posted by Deb on Wednesday June 1, 2005 at 8:53 am

We’re all sore and tired, we can’t find anything ’cause it’s all still in boxes, and we don’t know what all the switches do (or how to work the heating). We must be moved in.

Actually, I know we’re moved in, because we’ve done the ritual setting-off-the-smoke-alarm-while-cooking.

Moving day was…interesting. The cats were speyed the day before, and one of them bit her stitches out so had to be returned to the vet during the move. That meant both of them had to go, since we’ve only got one cat-carrier. She had to have an anaesthetic to replace the stitches, and we had to wait until the vet phoned and gave us 10 minutes notice to come and pick her up at some unpredictable time. Made it all very plan-able, I must say.

Massive thanks are due to K & A, who helped us move. I hope A’s legs feel better soon…

We don’t have broadband yet, hence the lack of blog posts. Dial-up is incredibly frustrating – and we’ve only had broadband less than a year! Obviously it’s completely addictive.

Barney is sleeping on a mattress on the floor of George & Freddy’s room “until I get used to the house” – which is fine, because a) the room is huge and b) it means the floor gets cleared at least once a day.

We bought the refrigerator and dishwasher from the old owners, since they fit and match – which leaves us with an extra kitchen in the garage. Anyone want to buy a cooker, a large larder fridge or a dishwasher? All under a year old…how much money would I have saved in my life if I’d had a crystal ball? :-o

Right now, my children are giving a rendition of The Toy Dolls’ version of “Nellie the Elephant”. All together now…. wooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO……
